Found some on the bargain table at the auto parts store (door edge trim - that is) and I thought; “I sure could use a little of this”

When working in the engine bay installing mods, I had scrapped my hands and arms on the heat shields more then once. One shield had a sliver that could slice cow hide.

A little heat gun to soften up the trim and help work/fit around all the radiuses and bends, a little black adhesive silicone and a little patience and it came out pretty nice - - - for $1 piece of trim.

Cheap & Easy - can't complain about that and still not ashamed to show-off some pics.

 

Looks great! Very professional.

 

Everybody should get a little trim

 

What if it melts?

 

LMFAO my mind went straight to the gutter as well when I saw this thread title LOL

Looks great Brian

 

So did mine and it is still in there......I guess trim is trim wherever you get it from.


BTW Brian....great job!!!

 

I'm thinking there was a little intent when he considered this tittle... I like it..I like it allot!

 

Yeah, I was afraid this was going to be another," I ruined my life" thread.

 

Hey there is nothing wrong with a little trim, and yes I went into the gutter with the rest of you, the only problem is when it starts to ITCH. LOL.

 

If you're not extremely selective, it COULD be the start of another one... LMFAO

 

Double meaning aside.

Looks tedious to me but some good pictures at several different angles posted being very helpful pointers.

At least this won't happen like what happened in RE: I ruined my life

Trim or no trim - enjoy the ride

 

Didn't they have it in Blue ?

 

????? Good, quality trim shouldn't melt

In the Engine & Exhaust section??

Take your time and warm the trim up, but never warmer then your fingers can handle, just bend and shape - sometimes you must hold it there to get the desired effect - then let her cool at her own pace and you have perfected a technique that can be used on all models.

I just hate that fake, dyed trim - or were you thinking age???

Looks great Brian, I've cut myself more than once on those sharp edge's too. I have a little of that trim left over from installing some fender flare's on a truck I had, I'll have to see if I have enough to do the same.
